Playing & Trading Strategy

Arrgh - another laugh at me - just realized late last night I sold the NEIB2 Put instead of the Call - bye bye nice profits:( {nm} JDolphin May 20, 12:29

Please laugh at me. I've been hovering around $20M for a while now. Can't get out of the hole. Couldn't figure out why I kept going down.... MstrChapl May 19, 13:14

well, now you'll never forget them...hehe :D {nm} tealfan May 19, 15:04

I did the same thing at 5million I was stuck there for about a month since I did lots of trade chasing... {nm} Baron_Darcon May 20, 04:02

If you have a small port, you have to look at short term gains to build your port up. If you do regular trading, you might make more money JDolphin May 20, 12:04

KaiGee: I seem to have disappeared off the 10K Player Gains chart! {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 19, 06:15

Appears only to have collated the first 800. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 19, 06:31

Yeah I'm not on there either. I think we were exiled from HSX. {nm} Quickslver99 May 19, 06:47

script to pull data must have hung, I'll try to run it again {nm} KaiGee May 19, 13:27

Seems fine now, thanks :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 19, 16:35

thank god, my entire goal for the past year has been to break into the 10k ranks on the leaderboard so I can pull up my profile on kaigee. {nm} Exogen May 22, 14:04

What is the adjustment multiplier for a Friday - Monday opening weekend? {nm} the_treachery_of_images May 18, 17:40

you can find that (and tons of other info) at the Glossary link at the bottom of most every page...in the Glossary look under "Adjust Price" {nm} tealfan May 18, 20:21

It has been 6 months since grory has made a trade .... goodbye RazorHawk May 17, 13:23

Failure by the troll again, maybe the young lady has greater priorities. {nm} blaze223 May 18, 05:15

Sorry ND that was supposed to be a reply to Mike. {nm} blaze223 May 18, 05:16

Poor guy. {nm} mike255 May 18, 03:20

Being almost $3B ahead of #2, I think she can afford some time off. :-) {nm} Flash May 18, 09:56

And made 385m without trading at all. Not too shabby {nm} MattW May 18, 11:12

that leaves the door wide open for the #2 guy to become #1. A year from now :) T minus 365... {nm} Oleg Max May 18, 16:25

that's how good of a trader she was... she stops all trading and it takes a year and a half for somebody to catch up to her RazorHawk May 18, 17:04

made most of her money back when this game was harder too {nm} islander May 18, 17:49

+1 {nm} DiNar0 May 19, 09:44

How much harder was it would you say? And is that mostly because of the 50k limit on shares or other things as well {nm} MattW May 21, 00:39

right, shares are a big one (at 100K, its twice as easy to make $). also, the openers are easy now, and were a challenge before when youd islander May 23, 12:50

A "Settled" Trading Market Today? ChifferBrane May 17, 08:02

here is a list of the movies that have had the most movement today... RazorHawk May 17, 08:10

Yup. Well, Looks like I'm Simply Wrong Place Wrong Time Today {nm} ChifferBrane May 17, 08:29

just as i thought i figured it out, it doesn't work that way? Boomod May 16, 20:48

The Put was priced at 1.05 before delist so if you shorted 20,000 - then you should have received 21,000. If that's not correct, then post JDolphin May 16, 22:44

nuts Boomod May 17, 05:51

No need to fear. If you take out the hump you're still on the same long-term trajectory. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 13, 04:55

Starbond TAG adjustment question rocco May 10, 11:58

The limited release does not count at all when the wide release adjusts. Also be sure you are dropping the correct movie from the tag. Do JDolphin May 10, 12:21

Much obliged rocco May 10, 13:34

How it works... RazorHawk May 10, 12:21

Short answer is No. More inside DTravel May 10, 12:24

You people type too fast. :P {nm} DTravel May 10, 12:25

Advice on Cap3 if you can spare the cash until delist MattW May 06, 22:24

i would be careffull with that strategy JMT-NL May 07, 00:17

Though CAPA2 was also a great action flick with a Cinemascore of A and an RT score of 88 (vs 91 for CAPA3) {nm} RogerMore May 07, 09:50

History is against you. The last super hero movie to open in May and delist above 2.7 was the 1st Avengers in 2012. Only 3 movies from Iron JDolphin May 07, 19:59

yup...even worse, I think the first Avengers, Iron Man and Thor were delist shorts as well...unless my math is wrong... tealfan May 08, 00:21

I think you're using final multipliers instead of delist multiplers. warcraft86 May 08, 08:56

Your right so the multipliers are worse. Sorry the data is from the Google Docs spreadsheet posted here earlier, I forgot it was final gross {nm} JDolphin May 08, 09:38

Considering it's probably going to go up another $70 with the adjust Sunday, that seems like a sure money-loser. Short it after the adjust. {nm} FranklynStreet May 07, 12:54

Where do you get 70 more from? that would be and OW over 200. {nm} JDolphin May 07, 16:51

Yes, Boxofficemojo was predicting it doing 210. {nm} FranklynStreet May 08, 10:41

That was back on Thurs. You posted Friday afternoon - big changes can happen to movies in that period. {nm} JDolphin May 08, 11:46

oops - you posted Sat. based on Thurs and Friday box office it wasn't going to do that anymore. {nm} JDolphin May 08, 11:49

only on HSX is the 5th best domestic opening considered "not awesome" {nm} john May 08, 11:53

Very similar daily path as Iron Man 3 after removing Thursday previews. I'll be surprised with a multiplier over 2.6 MattW May 09, 14:57

Weekend #2 coming in around 72m MattW May 14, 00:23

Comes out to 348k per day holding short from today to delist. {nm} MattW May 14, 00:24

CRIME delisted so I have seized control of UNIVX. All of your Universal are belong to me. Let's make some fake H$! {nm} Initech May 05, 19:58

Who says CRIME doesn't pay? Well done and good luck with UNIVX :) {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 06, 01:49

Glad You're on Our Side! {nm} ChifferBrane May 06, 07:35

Congrats. Thanks. Good Luck. {nm} DiNar0 May 06, 10:51

Hey, forgot to mention Studio Funds are not allowed to invest in StarBonds. {nm} Antibody May 06, 16:18

At least not until Hollywood brings back the old Studio System. :) {nm} DTravel May 06, 16:54

My bad, still on CRIME rules. I'll get rid of them. {nm} Initech May 08, 16:42

Glad the fund is in such good hands. Thanks. {nm} FranklynStreet May 07, 12:52
